There is no allergy test for pets that doesn't involve drawing blood. Unfortunately they can't always pin point the exact allergen.

A reaction like that I would check for a food allergy. Feed the dog cooked chicken and rice for 3 wks or until the rash starts to clear. This means no cookies or chews. Then once the rash clears start slowly introducing things one ingredient at a time.
Or switch the dog to a grain free kibble, or Raw diet

If the basic diet shows no change what so ever try keeping the dog off grass for 3 wks and see if it clears up.
